Right I'm really confused now... It's 56 million over 3 years for each airport under 5mil pax... That doesn't seem like an awful lot, if we include Carlisle, that's 26 airports under 5 million and therefore £673,076 each for the first year and just over £1.48 million shared over the next two... To me that doesn't seem like a lot of money for the likes of NCL, EMA, LPL, LBA, LCY etc. It would be a more significant investment for CAX, NQY, HUY, NWI, MME and the like.
I'm not saying not to go for it but it doesn't seem as worth it as £17.5 mil
INeedTheFull90, of course the NCL base is sustainable, certainly! If anything I'm agreeing with you that NCL-LGW is less sustainable than other possible peak slot timed flights from LGW. I.e sustainable from the NCL end of things, but not the LGW side.
